One way to get rid of lingering weeds in a newly prepared garden is to "solarize" them. Cover the area with clear plastic and let the sun do the work. This works best in hot climates.

Prevent the germination of weeds in your lawn or garden by using corn gluten. This also acts as a fertilizer. Will not kill the existing weeds or other already established plants.
Save your unused vegetable garden seeds for next year's planting.  The best method of storage is an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Make a plastic root cellar by sinking a garbage can into the ground with the rim 3 inches above the ground.  Line the bottom of the garbage can with 2 inches of damp sand, repeat this with each layer of vegetables.  Finally, place a 1 to 2 foot high pile of leaves and straw over the top followed by a plastic film held down by rocks.
